MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican police arrested one of the senior police officers accused of involvement in the disappearance of a group of 43 student teachers last year, the country's interior ministry said on Thursday.
Francisco Salgado, 41, was the deputy head of the police in the southwestern city of Iguala, where 43 student teachers went missing in September last year. The government says the group was detained by corrupt police officers who handed them over to a local drug gang that killed them and then incinerated their bodies.
